“Immobile, shy-looking hassist Randy Meisner steps to the mike for his one lead vocal of the evening, on ‘Take It To The Limit.’ Perhaps it’s his lack of postering, or just some quality in his voice, or just that he feels what he’s singing, but he reaches an evocative plane that no one else has touched this evming.” (Barbara Ballinger, USC Osceola, July 1, 1977)
“A personal favorite they sang was “Take It To The Limit” with Randy Meisner singing the lead with lines such as ‘When there’s nothing to believe in…still you’re coming back for more’ and ‘take it to the limit one more time.” (Linda C. Owens, The State, June 22, 1977)
Randy Meisner “a seemingly shy, introverted type with plain, straight hair who seems out of place among the more flashy, mustachioed members of the band.” Edward Fennell, Charleston News & Courier, June 25, 1977)
